Then got paired with Cam and they read zone.  Got to think he would have logged 3 straight thousand yard seasons in that window but Cam was going to get his in that O

I swear I thought stewart and dwill both had 1000 yards one season.   And that offense should have been unstoppable circa 2011-2015ish.   Not sure why they didnt load up on oline help during those early cam years with all that running firepower

Got to think it was top 10 run game all those years without looking.

They are very different backs.  I don’t think folks understand the difference between north-south back and all purpose back.

Jonathan Steward had 1.3k receiving yards in 11 season.  Gurley who Brooks resembles to had 2.3k yards in 6 seasons (1.7k in his 3 season before he got hurt)

Well yeah, and with this QB a pass catching back that can get his rushing yards is the right move. 

That I think Tampa Bay game where J Stew and DW ran all over them the whole game was a high point. 

Double trouble was amazing to watch.

They did in 2009. That was the only one though.

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

      You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
